The examiner has the right to offer alternative examination arrangements to students who have been granted the right to special support by Mid Sweden University’s disabilities adviser.
If examination on campus cannot be conducted according to decision by the vicechancellor, or whom he delegated the right to, the following applies: [Written Exam T101], will be replaced with two parts, online examination and follow-up. Within three weeks of the online examination, a selection of students will be contacted and asked questions regarding the examination. The follow-up consists of questions concerning the execution of the online exam and the answers that the student has submitted.
